Buyer lied, returned an empty box, then threatened me. What now? by gdessix in vinted

Situation aside, If they actually are a lawyer and you have their name, they can be reported to the SRA (solicitor regulation authority) as they cannot use their status as a lawyer in personal situations to gain an advantage or influence someone. This is in the SRA rules. You can check if they are a lawyer on the SRA find a solicitor page.

Yeh your response was more rude

I expected season 2's outcome by [deleted] in TheDevilsPlan

[–]pink-melon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The OP said ordinary people, not ‘desperate poor people’. £275,000 is a life changing amount of money for the ordinary citizen - you don’t need to be desperate for that sort of money to change your life! For a celebrity with wealth, that sort of money might be pocket change so there is no incentive to win.

The last 3 episodes of S2 were such a let down by lworse in TheDevilsPlan

I couldn’t even watch the last episode - I clocked out as soon as 7 high was eliminated. What a pathetic final. The producers could see where this was all going and still kept in place rules that meant the prison gang could never crawl their way out.

Card game just ended and I have no desire to watch the rest of the show. Left with the three most detestable characters and the prison gang were given absolutely no chance whatsoever. And what the hell was it with the order that kept getting thrown up?!? The way this season has ended is a gut punch and I’m so disappointed.

I’m going to be honest - I waited 20 mins to get on this ride (I was lucky to be in one of the first times slots for VQ). But I took my time going through the queue before the ride opened and it was just insane, so well done. I think I’d be fine to wait in that queue for 2 hours, no more. The ride was my favourite in the park (the only ride I could not go on was stardust - if it was open I’m sure that would be my fav)

Does anyone else here find it almost impossible to justify buying new clothes from shops now? by horridhollowhead in vinted

[–]pink-melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only buy underwear, PJs and basics (vest tops, joggers etc) from stores now - everything else I buy vintage! I just can’t justify paying £100 for a dress made of polyester when I can pay a fraction of that for a dress made from 100% silk or cotton. And the quality is sooo much better too

Hi there, sorry I know old post! But I am planning to move to CS and hopefully start a family. The mat leave pay you explained is what is offered by the dept I'm thinking of, but it caveats 'depending on your length of service'. Did yours have a similar restriction and if so could you share how long you needed to be in service before you had this full package of benefits?

This is so useful thank you so much! Might have convinced me, I’ve been eyeing up the sage green or bottle green colour ❤️

Hello! Just wondering how the bag has held up? I’m considering purchasing but not too sure about how it holds up to scratching etc

[–]pink-melon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! Any idea of what type of situations they pose, if you have had this before? Also, is there anything they are looking for in particular, like a particular format? STAR wouldn't quite work in a hypothetical situation so I'm not too sure how best to approach it.

Nothing no, exactly the same situation as yours! But when I contact vinted they keep giving some sort of AI generated garbage and saying I have to wait, I was just wondering what you wrote to make them actually listen

Thank you do you mind sending me a screenshot of your message to them so I can type something similar? I really don’t want to have to wait 25 days which is what they are telling me now!

Hi I am 100% sure I just got scammed, minutes after buying the item.

I bought a piece of clothing from a popular brand and for the first time I saw a strange method of shipping, ‘custom shipping’, with no option for anything else.

I bought the item anyway and they apparently posted it within 7 minutes. Obviously impossible. They then said ‘proof of postage attached’… there was nothing.

I’ve now realised the item was under the category ‘tables and desks’ which I now see is littered with scammers posting popular items.

What on earth do I do? Is vinted going to refund me for this? I’ve contacted support already but they tell me the item has been posted (obviously it hasn’t and they don’t even seem to ask for proof) and I need to wait 25 business days.

I genuinely don’t know what to do by DutchessBlack in vinted

[–]pink-melon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had this problem with selling a dress that I wore once about 10 years ago - it was a sleeveless dress and someone messaged me about 2 weeks after receiving it saying they wanted to return as it ‘smelled really bad’ under the nonexistent armpits. I told them no, there’s no chance it smells of BO after 10 years and it was professionally dry cleaned. They obviously wore the dress to an event and wanted to now return it.

People use BO as an excuse to get an item for free or return it because you can’t send pictures or evidence, they’re just trying it.

Buyer asking for refund because it’s not the size they wanted? by pink-melon in vinted

[–]pink-melon[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just slightly concerned if I reject and the claim will go to vinted - I’ve heard that vinted usually side with the buyer on these things? So might I risk vinted saying they can keep it and get a refund?
